On behalf of the Shapeways team, we are REALLY excited to announce a new round of financing, led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from our existing investors – Union Square Ventures, Index Ventures, and Lux Capital.

All of our investors believe, like us, that 3D printing has the potential to completely change the world. With this new investment, we will make Shapeways much easier to use and we will continue to explore the frontiers of 3D printing materials, enabling YOU to make and sell any product imaginable.

Since launch, Shapeways has grown so much. This would not have been possible without our community - you guys are what makes us great!

As we embark on this next phase in our company's journey, we wanted to take this opportunity to look back at how far we've come... Check out our blog for the full inside scoop.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey!! We can't wait to keep going forward together!

Does that mean that Shapeways' systems will be updated so that customers have a choice of currency and rejections will be based on published rules, or shall we need to keep on wasting time conveying to your team that models do fall within guidelines and that Our customers orders should be reinstated because of an untrained operator?

Hi, Natalia,
This is great news for shapeways.
And it's great to see you last time in your new office during the meetup. I hope to see more of your new materials, and maybe more and more machines to produce much faster for us.
I wonder how many more machine you're planning to add to your factory here? Will you organize another tour to your factory in NYC soon?

Great to meet everyone last time, say hello to Beekey and Ben ( I want to ask him more about the statistics!)
